Chapter 308
In the Huaxia region where Bai Qianqu is located, the director-centered system is generally implemented, and the status of screenwriters is very low. Some screenwriters have even become dispensable roles and have lost their independent thinking. Some directors do not have a solid foundation in writing, and reduce the literary function of the script to their own tools, destroying the ideas that the film should have.
This is also the reason why the film industry in Huaxia has always produced bad films in recent years.
Directors pay too much attention to external performance and forget that the plot story is the soul of the film.
Unlike the embarrassing situation of screenwriters in Huaxia with low income, difficulty in protecting rights and low treatment, screenwriters in other regions often occupy an important position in the production process of TV series.
How high is the status of screenwriters in a certain region?
There was an incident that happened during the filming of a movie. An actor acted like a big shot. Not only did he film perfunctorily, he was often late and left early, and even complained about the plot of the movie.
So the screenwriter directly wrote the actor to death and kicked him out of the crew in disguise.
The actor had nowhere to say anything and could only swallow his anger.
There is another thing. There was an interview program. The host asked a well-known screenwriter why he didn't write a script for a popular star actor. The screenwriter said bluntly: "I don't write for people who are just beautiful but empty-headed."
After the program was released, the popular star didn't dare to say a word, and even posted a dynamic, sincerely accepting the criticism of the screenwriter teacher.
And some places are very abnormal. The director's status is not high, the screenwriter's status is not high, and the highest status is actually the actor.
The actor said I don't want to shoot this plot, and the screenwriter immediately changed it.
The actor said I can't remember the lines, and the director immediately smiled and said that you can recite ancient poems, huh? If you don't know ancient poems, then count, 1234567.
The actor wiped a small cut, and immediately a large group of people came up to ask about his well-being, as if that person was made of glass and couldn't be touched or broken.
As a result, this kind of star with exaggerated acting skills, no lines, and nothing, can get a sky-high salary just by relying on a face.
The whole movie is for him alone.
How can such a movie be good?
Bai Qianqu suddenly remembered a very interesting joke.
In the original world, Hollywood implemented the director-centered system, South Korea implemented the screenwriter-centered system, and a certain country had a very unique "star"-centered system.
It's a bit ironic.
However, in this world, the film and television industry does not indulge these so-called "vases". Those who are only beautiful, have poor acting skills, and can't remember their lines will be eliminated directly.
Not convinced?
If you are not convinced, just leave!
If you don't shoot, there are plenty of people who will shoot!
This is just the most basic. If you want to be selected by a director or screenwriter, you must have outstanding qualities.
So all the stars in this world have real skills.
This is just like a singer. The audience can see at a glance that those who are just filling in the numbers.
In fact, the film and television industry is similar to the music industry. Actors correspond to singers, and directors and screenwriters correspond to songwriters.
Actors and singers give the appearance of works of art, while creators give them souls.
Both parties are important, but compared to status, the creator's status ceiling is naturally higher.
Bai Qianqu chose to be a composer because of this, and when he enters the film and television industry in the future, he will naturally only choose the one with the highest status ceiling.
Screenwriter is a good choice.
He will definitely follow the screenwriter-centered system in the future, after all, he doesn't want the script he wrote to be changed beyond recognition by others.
But now it's just a thought, he doesn't have a work at hand at present, and it's just a daydream to think more.
The current priority is to gain a foothold in the film and television industry, and then he must come up with an excellent work.
So he agreed to Cao Dawei's request and said that he would try his best to write a script.
Cao Dawei was very happy to get Bai Qianqu's affirmative answer. The two agreed on the time for submission and ended the call.
Over there, beside Cao Dawei, the crew's assistant director Xavier asked with some concern: "Director Cao, with so many scripts being requested at once, can we really find a suitable one to shoot? And the person you just communicated with...if I'm not mistaken, it was Teacher Qu Yin? Can he write scripts?"
Xavier is a director who has just joined Tianming and is interning with Cao Dawei, so he didn't know about Bai Qianqu writing the ending script for Cao Dawei last time.
Cao Dawei laughed!
"Don't underestimate him."
He told the story of the last time, and then said: "Qu Yin doesn't want too many people to know that he can write scripts, so don't spread this matter."Xavier was stunned.
What kind of shocking news is this?
Composer changes career to screenwriter?
Is this possible?
It feels unreliable.
But Xavier has no good solution. He is also the most clear about the current situation. Tianming's next movie will be shot by them. If it is not done well, it will be unlucky.
Now there is a lack of scripts, the more the better, and the taller one among the short ones.
......
After Bai Qianqu hung up the phone, he was also refreshed. He poured himself a cup of tea again, and then carefully thought about what kind of script he should customize.
Cao Dawei's requirements are very simple. The requirement is a comedy movie, and the cost cannot be too high.
When it comes to comedy movies, Bai Qianqu first thinks of Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow's movies can be said to be household names, and almost no one does not know them.
He has made "nonsense movies" his own unique label. It can be said that Stephen Chow's movies can almost be equated with the word "nonsense".
There are actually nonsensical movies in this world, but none of them have reached the level of Stephen Chow. So far, they are just a branch of niche movies, and almost no one watches them.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, not everyone can make nonsensical movies, because "nonsensical" is originally a colloquialism, which means doing things and speaking without reason, without reason and center, incoherent and unified, and neurotic.
If it is not handled well, it is easy to confuse the audience and make them confused about what the movie is about, so that they feel that the movie is messy and not good to watch.
The reason why Stephen Chow's movies are good is mainly because he combines the trivialities of the lives of small people with absurd humorous elements with his unique nonsensical performance style.
But the most important thing is that there is Stephen Chow.
It can be said that nonsensical movies without Stephen Chow and nonsensical movies with Stephen Chow are completely different.
There is no Stephen Chow, no Jim Carrey, no Ng Man-tat, no Terri Yuen... in this world.
So the nonsensical in this world is still in its most primitive stage, which is just right for me to develop.
